Given that WWE's gone with a new family-friendly format, will WrestleMania XXV be the first WrestleMania since WrestleMania XIX to not feature a Playboy cross-promotion match?

I was hoping to see Layla get such a push. I may be out of luck though.

With the way they're pushing Kelly, and given her in ring improvement, I think if they do it it'll be all her's.

I don't see why they would stop. As long as they don't show naked pictures on their shows it means nothing. I didn't even know what Playboy really was when I was 10. I knew it was a magazine that featued women but that was it. If that's all that's mentioned then it's fine. It doesn't make them any less kid friendly.

It doesn't matter how PG WWE wants to be, there will still be a Diva posing this year because it makes WWE money. And money is the prime motive.

So you never know.

With the angles they're currently running, I don't see it happening. If this angle with Kelly is the beginning of her push to the title. She's way over with the kids in the audience, so I don't think they're gonna screw that up by adding Playboy to the mix

Phew, I thought this was about Khali.
I think they'll still do the playboy cover but will have less on-screen coverage of it, I'm hoping for Beth and Santino to re-enact the Eddie and Chyna storyline.

I don't mind the Playboy push if it doesn't involve a title being defended. What they did this year was acceptable because it was a filler match that ultimately didn't hurt the competitors in the long run.

I don't see them doing it, at least not in 2009.
We would have already heard something about it as the Diva would have already done the shoot by now.

I don't care if the push is over, as long as a diva still poses.

Yeah, but they won't be able to rationalize it now that the Girls Next Door is over. That show, because it was shown on basic cable, made Playboy in general more mainstream and acceptable to a PG audience. Now that it's over, it will go back to being the airbrushed spank-fest that it was before.

In his wrestling gear no less. That would be amazing.

The big-deal factor about a diva being in Playboy has been gone for a long time. It felt groundbreaking when Sable posed 10 years ago. It just doesn't seem notable any more after Ashley and Candice and Maria and Christy and others have all posed for Playboy. It was a big deal in 1998 or 1999 (whatever the year was), when Sable was the first ever and WWE was really pushing the sex appeal on their TV. The only thing that could have given the Playboy gimmick any buzz was if they would have done Extreme Expose with Kelly, Layla, and Brooke all together.

In his wrestling gear no less. That would be amazing. They have to continue the storyline with Kelly and Kane, and need Kelly to go out with Kane (out of fear, of course). Then, she manages to break up with him (with, like John Cena's protection, or something), and, around the same time, announces she will do Playboy. As she does a photoshoot (obviously before taking it all off), Kane marches into the mansion looking for Kelly, and just destroys all the broads there. Before he leaves (dragging Kelly away), he must tombstone Hugh Hefner. This all then leads to a Cena/Kane program (this can be shortly after WrestleMania) where Cena fights for Kelly's freedom from Kane, while Kane shoots for Cena's title. It leads to a match at some PPV where they each put something at stake - Cena puts up the belt, Kane will leave Kelly. Cena wins. Then Cena and Kelly will be together, kind of like a face version of HHH/Steph, where they have the World and Women's titles.

It must be just me, but seeing as how Maryse is a former Playboy model herself, I saw her recent Diva's Championship win as a clear "in" for a new Playboy pictorial featuring everyone's favorite blonde Canadian (...not named 'Trish').

OMG, that would have been so amazing, and I don't even find Kelly that attractive [Layla and Brooke I want to snork for days though]

It felt groundbreaking when Sable posed 10 years ago and Chyna's issue blew Sables out the park thus making Chyna's the best selling WWE Diva playboy cover of all the times fixed ;D
